<p>The explosion of luminous green signs around the Baltics signals the start of the Lithuanian capital's reign as one of the two new <strong>European Capitals of Culture </strong>(the other is Linz in Austria). The Culture Live programme (<a href="http://www.vilnius2009.lt">www.vilnius2009.lt</a>) features 900 events, 60% of which are free to attend. Lithuania is evolving fast having gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1990. A new <strong>National Art Gallery</strong>, opening in June, will host the V&amp;A's blockbuster &quot;Cold War Modern&quot; exhibition from October and specialist tour operator Baltic Holidays (0845 070 5711; <a href="http://www.balticholidays.com">www.balticholidays.com</a>) has launched two-night packages from &pound;229 including flights.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/jan/18/vilnius-lithuania-weekend-breaks-capital-culture">Continue reading...</a>VilniusLithuaniaHotelsRestaurantsWeekend breaksFood and drinkTravelShort breaksCultural tripsCity breaksEuropean capital of cultureSun, 18 Jan 2009 00:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/jan/18/vilnius-lithuania-weekend-breaks-capital-cultureRay Tang/Rex FeaturesYear of culture ... thousands of people watch the Gert Hoff light show in the Cathedral Square of central Vilnius.

There are miles of white sand, a new direct flight and beer is &pound;1 a pint, so could Palanga be this summer's hottest tip, asks <strong>Viv Groskop</strong><p>Once we'd heard the song we were smitten. 'Welcome to Lithuania,' it proclaimed in English, the strains of a folk orchestra booming out, 'land of the beautiful ladies.' We were at a midnight beach party in Palanga, Lithuania's 'summer capital' (Vilnius is the year-round one), for the first day of the holiday season. The sound system on the pier started pumping out this makeshift national anthem at 11pm sharp, accompanying a showily breathtaking firework display.</p><p>Streaming onto the beach were around 10,000 Lithuanians, celebrating the start of summer with corks popping. They knew all the words of the song: 'It's said we're depressive. I must say it ain't true. We love to party. The first drink's on you.' Heady claims, but, as it turned out, a pretty fair assessment of the Baltic character.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/jun/01/lithuania.estonia">Continue reading...</a>LithuaniaEstoniaMontenegroLatviaUkraineBulgariaFlightsHotelsTravelMuseumsShopping tripsFood and drinkBeach holidaysCycling holidaysClubbingMusicCultureArt and designSat, 31 May 2008 23:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/jun/01/lithuania.estoniaPR/PRPalanga, Lithuania ... pristine beaches stretch for miles along Lithuania's Baltic coastPR/PRPalanga, Lithuania: Pristine beaches stretch for miles along Lithuania's Baltic coastViv Groskop2008-05-31T23:01:00ZEscape's picks of the weekhttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/nov/25/escape.flights
<p><strong>The vegetarian cottage</strong></p><p>If you're a strict vegetarian, it can be difficult to find a self-catering cottage where meat hasn't been cooked on the premises. Llwyndryssi, at Llanllwni mountain in Carmarthenshire, is a new one-bedroom building that's been restored by its vegetarian owner, who has banned meat being prepared or consumed on the premises. 'Vegetarians feel quite strongly about not using kitchen utensils in self-catering properties, and many take their own frying pans and chopping boards on holiday with them,' says Greg Stevenson, who runs agency Under the Thatch, which is renting out the property from 3 December.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/nov/25/escape.flights">Continue reading...</a>TravelFlightsGreen travelLithuaniaHotelsHostelsSun, 25 Nov 2007 00:04:39 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/nov/25/escape.flightsGuardian Staff2007-11-25T00:04:39ZTwo to tryhttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/06/saturday.hotels.marrakech
<p><strong>Charm in the medina</strong></p><p>We know riads are two-a-penny in Marrakech but small boutique hotels are thin on the ground. So much so that local tourism officials have created a special category - Hotels du Charme - for <a href="http://www.lesborjsdelakasbah.com">Le Borjs de la Kasbah</a> (00 212 24 38 1101) in the medina. Mike Bruce-Mitford, who founded specialist tour operator VFB holidays, has spent the last four years painstakingly converting six town houses and a riad into a hotel. Eighteen rooms are arranged around four patios and a spa and pool are due to open later this year. Most of the time it will operate as a normal hotel but you can also hire the whole place for a party or family reunion - it's not too early to start planning for New Year's Eve 2007. The other unusual thing about this property is its environmental policy. Electricity is partially supplied by solar power, rooms use energy efficient lighting and waste management is eco-friendly. A double costs €140 B&amp;B, low season, or rent the whole property for €2,250 a night (for up to 32 guests, €70 pp pn).</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/06/saturday.hotels.marrakech">Continue reading...</a>TravelHotelsMarrakechLithuaniaSat, 06 Jan 2007 23:41:20 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/06/saturday.hotels.marrakechLe Borjs de la Kasbah ... perfect for New Year's Eve 2007.Guardian Staff2007-01-06T23:41:20ZFive best...http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2006/may/13/fivebest.beachholidays.hotels
